It's your wedding, and you deserve professionalism from your entertainer. We look the part, as we always wear tuxedos for formal events. We coordinate with your photographer, videographer, caterer, and other professionals, so you can relax on a day where you deserve to.

Helped Ease our Stress!

We hired Upstate Sounds after talking with a few different DJs and we were happy with our choice. The price was reasonable and Jay was great to work with from start to finish. The online login helped us fill in song ideas and we loved being able to build a playlist and request songs so easily. Jay met with us beforehand to discuss details and worked to make sure everyone had a great time at our wedding! Thank you for everything!

Thank You!!!!

We booked Jay and added on the photo booth. Our guests had so much fun dancing but the photo booth was a nice break! We loved that they sent us all the photos afterwards so we could see how much fun our guests had in there! Highly recommended!

Would give more stars if we could!

Jay was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding! From the first consultation to the last song of the night, communication was clear and effortless. He really took the time to understand our vision, our music preferences, and the overall vibe we wanted.

On our wedding day, he kept everything running seamlessly and was incredibly flexible with any last-minute changes. He honored all of our song requests and read the room beautifully. Our dance floor was full from the moment it opened until the very last song, which was our main goal.

If you're looking for a DJ who is organized, talented, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, Upstate Sounds is the way to go. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend to anyone getting married in the Capital Region!

Wedding review

Jay was amazing through out the whole process of planning our wedding. He was kind, helpful, patient, and very supportive. He showed up the day of the wedding early and prepared, and was fantastic the whole night. He even stayed an extra hour when asked last minute. He really went above and beyond to make us feel heard and respected. He truly helped make our special day so perfect! We could not recommend him enough!

Perfect touch to our wedding!

We found Jay Rozell @Upstate Sounds to be a perfect match for our smaller family wedding! He was very down to Earth and easy to talk to, as my Husband and I were "older" and not familiar with the newer way of not only performing weddings, but also the technology involved, being as everything is online now. Jay was truly
very helpful and thoughtful, answering any and all questions we had. He was always professional, and available whenever we needed him for advice, as well. He came out to my childhood home in the rural countryside before the wedding (which is where our ceremony was), and met our Wedding Officiant. Jay knew exactly what to do, and they both worked in unison, creating a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony for my Husband and myself, with memories to last a lifetime! Jay is also the kind of family man that fits right into your own family! Before our ceremony, he pitched right in, helping to carry and set up for our wedding, all while setting up his own equipment! We also found him to be very flexible, as he has an extensive Music Playlist to choose from, but was ALSO able to add some of our more obscure requests. Thanks to that, my family enjoyed hours of dancing, including the little ones playing with guitar props that he provided! All in all, we found Jay Rozell to be very honest and professional in every way, and an all around good person! He was well worth it, and we HIGHLY recommend his services for ANY occasion!

Would use Upstate Sounds again and again!

Jay made us feel so special during the entire process of our wedding. He is incredibly thorough, professional, and attentive. He met with us whenever we needed to ensure that our wedding would run smoothly. He even made us a special mix for our first dance! Our crowd was up and dancing the whole night, and everyone said they had a blast because of the music. You will not regret working with Upstate Sounds.

Best Wedding Entertainment Ever!

We hired DJ Jay of Upstate Sounds for our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made. He made the entire planning process with his very easy to navigate music database and organization forms. It made choosing music the most fun part of wedding planning for me and my husband. He has everything you want in a DJ from props, Photo Booth, uplighting and most importantly kept us dancing from the time we entered the ballroom. Our guests are still talking about how great everything was. I can not recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
